Alaric (Matt Davis) prepares to get the ascendant from Jo (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) and gives her wine and take out, as she confides in him and tells him she used to keep it under her pillow, but she's older now and keeps it in her undies drawer!  Ha, Alaric has now been in Jo's drawers! ha.  He hands it to Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and he compels him to forget everything, Stefan (Paul Wesley) telling Damon that he's going to kill him when he finds out.  Damon tells him his relationship with Alaric is his to deal with, making a comment about Stefan and Caroline.  Who doesn't feature in this ep cos it's another one where Elena (Nina Dobrev) tries to get Bonnie (Kat Graham) back.  Elena tells Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) about Bonnie and how she's going to bring her back, but of course, he doesn't get his hopes up.  Everytime he does, something happens and they don't end up together.  Elena thinking this time it'd be different, why would it.

Liv (Penelope Mitchell) does the spell for them, making them drink her blood so she can locate them and she gives them some for Bonnie as well.  Damon gives her the ascendant and Bennett blood. They end up in 1994 and the Salvatore house, but there's no sign of Bonnie, yeah, sit around cos you've got time to waste.  Damon pages Kai (Chris wood) and Elena finds Damon's video journal, where he says this is his hell.  She wants to know why he said that but he's doesn't want to open up, with Elena thinking the only reason he's here is so that she can have some sort of memory of him and fall in love with him again, it's nothing to do with rescuing Bonnie.  Well pot calling kettle, cos Elena that's the only reason you're here too, or did she not tell Damon last ep that if he helps her get Bonnie, then she can advise her on Damon.  Bonnie calls the number back and she's in Muncie, Indiana, telling her to get here quick smart.  Oh okay, so they couldn't meet her half way, or something, if Liv was able to track them.  And also stop chatting on the phone for so long!

Little do they or anyone else know that Kai is already in town, well as least at Whitmore, after flying in and didn't that taxi driver get suspicious when he was asking him all those questions about liquids on planes and having to strip, cos he gets killed as Kai didn't have the fare, really!  Sarah (Gabrielle Walsh) wants to meet her family and Matt (Zach Roerig) takes her to Stefan after burning all the files relating to the Mystic Falls protection society.  Oh he appeared this ep cos Caroline didn't exactly invite him to 'friendsgiving' dinner last ep, so technically he's only a friend when they need his help.

Kai turns up at the bar and is served by Liv, taking a good look at her name tag, then adding, Liv is ironic.  Especially since he knows who she is all along, but she doesn't know about him, or can sense anything about him either, then what's the point of magic.  Jo raves at Alaric for stealing the ascendant from her but he has no idea what she's talking about.  She then thinks he might have been compelled and he says if Damon is his friend, he'll find out.  Damon finds Elena at her house, after she mentioned her parents would've still been alive then and he explains that this was his hell cos he had a fight with Stefan, acted out, killed some people, so what's new, and that Bonnie was the one who saved him.  He didn't give up cos of her.  So essentially they became friends, of sorts.  Elena noticing the swing doesn't creak anymore, he fixed it.

Kai decides he will have a drink after all, and she asks for ID, not bothering to read his name on the licence, which is Malachi Parker.  She can't get away from him until Tyler (Michael Trevino) comes along and knocks him off the balcony.  Enzo (Michael Mularkey) turns up whilst Sarah and Matt are waiting for Stefan, going on about how he killed Trip and that Stefan isn't so good after all.  He's killed people too.  He always has to be in on everything.  Especially since he thinks Stefan wronged Caroline, like it's any of his business.  He listens to their conversation and relays it to Matt.  Telling him Stefan's killed people too and it's not just him who has.  Stefan orders milkshakes so the blender will drown out Enzo's hearing and leaves with Sarah.

He stops driving and asks who she is cos he rescued Sarah and knows where she is.  He kept her hidden from Damon cos he killed her mother, and though he's changed he still doesn't want him to know.  Monique admists to knowing Sarah and wanting a family.  He compels her to leave and never come back.  Telling Matt and Enzo she's a con artist.  Of course Enzo wants to know everything and as Stefan doesn't spill, he kills her, with Matt and Stefan watching.  Stefan could've saved her if he wanted to, but it was like he wanted h r gone, so she wouldn't be a problem he'd have to deal with. So what makes him different than Damon, he killed Sarah's mother, but Stefan stood by and watched Monique get killed, so what if she wasn't Sarah.  As Matt tells him, when it comes down to it, humans will always suffer at their hands and be expendable and so they'll never be friends.

Elena and Damon are pulled back and Tyler tells her about Kai already being here.  Once again they're plans go awry.  Kai shows up and fights with Damon, destroying the ascendant by putting it on fire and yes, Elena why don't you just sit around with it some more.  Particularly after Damon told her Kai was around, well he could'be already been here, didn't they think of that and why didn't Bonnie tell them about Kai and the ascendant.  They were on the phone long enough.  Damon knocks Kai all the way over the Mystic Falls line, which makes it easier for him to get to Jo now or anyone else he wants.  Alaric turns up and punches Damon twice, not giving him a chance to explain that Kai was already here.  Oh and another nitpick whilst I'm at it, why couldn't they take Bonnie's teddy with them so she could get her magic back!!?  Not to mention taking the ascendant too!

Jo was at fault since she should've told them to get the knife, or not have left it there all these years. Elena calls Jeremy and tells him she's not coming back.  Matt tells him not to drink but to put his anger into hunting Enzo for him so he can kill him.  Bonnie rushes to the house to find no one there and she's all alone.  Nothing's changed there then.
